Technologies to support working dementia carers: Stakeholders perspectives from a custom-built co-design website

The views of working dementia carers and other relevant stakeholders (people with dementia, care workers, employers, etc.) on technologies to help carers better reconcile work and care were sought via a custom-built co-design website. The technologies (n=83) were previously identified based on working dementia carers' expressed needs and wants regarding technological solutions for their work-care reconciliation challenges and presented to participants in a blog-style format. Participants were asked to comment on these technology blog posts (i.e., how useful they thought they could be for working carers, how they thought the technology would affect them personally, whether they had ideas for improvements, etc.) and rate how much they liked the idea of the technology on a scale from 1 (min) to 5 (max). Each data file represents one of the 83 technology blog posts and is structured as follows: 1) description of the technology, 2) participants' comments, 3) participants' rating, 4) participant ID, 5) date and time of entry. An additional file details which stakeholder group participants belonged to.

The research received ethical approval from the ScHARR (School of Health and Related Research) Research Ethics Committee at the University of Sheffield (Reference 022994).

本研究旨在征询从事阿尔茨海默症护理工作的人员以及其他相关利益相关者（如阿尔茨海默症患者、护理人员、雇主等）对于辅助护理人员更好地协调工作和护理工作的技术手段的看法。通过一个定制的协同设计网站，搜集了这些利益相关者对于帮助护理人员解决工作与护理协调难题的技术解决方案的需求和期望（共计83项技术）。这些技术方案已根据从事阿尔茨海默症护理工作的人员对解决工作与护理协调难题的技术解决方案的需求和期望进行识别，并以博客风格的形式向参与者展示。参与者被要求对这些技术博客文章发表评论（例如，他们认为这些技术对工作护理人员有多大的帮助，他们认为这些技术将如何影响他们个人的生活，他们是否有改进的想法等），并按照从1（最小值）到5（最大值）的评分标准对技术理念进行评分。每个数据文件代表一篇83篇技术博客中的一篇，其结构如下：1）技术的描述，2）参与者的评论，3）参与者的评分，4）参与者ID，5）录入日期和时间。另外一份文件详细说明了参与者所属的利益相关者群体。该研究已获得谢菲尔德大学ScHARR（健康及相关研究学院）研究伦理委员会的伦理批准（参考编号022994）。
